How to count the length of a raw?

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a matrix as follow and would like to read a value from raw(x,2) and perform a length count follow by updating such length count value to (x,3) respectively. x refers to the row.
file={'No','Question','Length';'1','how are you?','';'2','What is your name?','';'3','Where do you stay?','';'4','How old are you?',''}. I tried many ways but the returned length count for all texts is always 1. Won't the length should be based on the actual length of the text e.g. Text='how are you?'; The returned length count should be 12 rather than 1..right?

Yes length of the text shall change. But you have named the strings in file in the form of cell. You can access the text using f{i,j}.
file={'No','Question','Length';'1','how are you?','';'2','What is your name?','';'3','Where do you stay?','';'4','How old are you?',''} ;
[m,n] = size(file) ;
L = zeros(m,n) ;
for i = 1:m
for j = 1:n
L(i,j) = length(file{i,j})
end
end

[num,txt,raw]=xlsread(file);
num - gives only numbers txt - gives headers if any raw - gives data in the form of cells.
To waht you have applied the above code? You shall apply to raw.

Not sure if I understand your issues correctly, but do you happen to use ()? To see the length of the text inside of the cell, you need to use a curly bracket instead {}.
file={'No','Question','Length';'1','how are you?','';'2','What is your name?','';'3','Where do you stay?','';'4','How old are you?',''};
size(file{1,2})

numel would be better than size for a vector. size always return a vector of at least 2 elements.
